Stanley Comegan Biiyan, of the Duck Clan, left for the Spirit world in the early-morning hours of Sunday, March 1, 2015 at the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, Man.
He was born July 9, 1945 in Rainy River, Ont. to James Comegan and Laura Adams.
In his younger days, he was never a guide but an avid commercial fisherman and trapper and, more importantly in his spare time, a home run king in fastball.
His leisure time was spent watching western movies.
Stanley leaves to mourn his brothers, Albert, James Jr., and Noel; sisters, Agnes, Marie, Elizabeth, Bernadine, Brenda, Audrey, and Rhonda; many nieces and nephews too numerous to mention; as well as many grandchildren.
He was predeceased by his father, James Sr., and mother, Laura Adams; brothers, Ronnie and Larry; sisters, Sharon, Debra, and Starr; and nephew, Garnet.
A traditional wake will be held Wednesday, March 4, 2015 from 4 p.m. at the Big Grassy First Nation Community Hall.
A traditional service will follow on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at 10 a.m., with Elder Gilbert Smith officiating.
Interment will take place in Big Grassy First Nation Cemetery.
The pallbearers will be Albert George, Sean Comegan, Darnell Comegan, Mathew Comegan, Kari Comegan, and Danny Big George.
The honourary pallbearers will be James Morrison, Leonard Morrison, Wesley Big George, Brian Major, Noel Comegan, Elvis Comegan, Doug Comegan, and James Catcheway.
